Yes the title sucked I am not use to doing something like this, In the thread
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/t...d-present-that-work-at-overclockers.18835456/
A Discussion came about after hearing about what we go through to help out with buying a few PC parts for Paola, I checked with Bailey that it was okay and the person who suggested it has things going on so I thought probably best I do this myself.
Summary, Paola has been fighting illness for 21 years it is incurable and because of the disabilities I am her primary carer and 99% of our existence is at home, computers and technology became our window onto the world, I won't go into details for anyone who has not read the thread its all available on that.
I want to make it clear in no way did I come to OCuk to get money and if no one donates that is fine this is just being put out there because people asked.
My Wife's PC the same as my own it has been on a slow budgeted upgrade path for many years, as it stands it is an intel 4690 8GB Ram 1070 graphics card a 120gb SSD OS drive and 2 mechanical 2 TB drives, this system is hooked into a 55" 4k tv and the oculus rift.
We don't have a lounge anymore it got turned into her bedroom, the reason for the 55" is from where she sits in her medical Riser Recliner at the back of the room it is equivalent to a 28" monitor, Rift only gets used when she is having a good day.
Now the plan was half way through November I had budgeted a certain amount for my birthday for a new monitor, (the AoC 32") and anything left over was going to buy a Samsung 500gb evo SSD to replace her ageing mechanical drives (500GB may not seem a lot but she only puts 5-7 games on her system at once).
Then save up and take her old 8GB with 16GB.
Do not want to tempt fate but both computers are in okay condition and the SSD will be the big boost to her performance, after those two items money will slowly be put away over the next year to do a rebuild and upgrade of both.
The SSD is £90 and someone already donated £25 so £65 at most is left on that and I know 16gb is £110.
So the most we are trying to raise is £175 and that would let me do the next two scheduled upgrades.
But like I said if no one donates this is just out there because people asked.
Someone mentioned in Paypal send it as a gift for friends and family so they do not take a cut.
If anyone does want to my trust is setup and I will forward my paypal email.
This was a lot longer than I expected told you I was not very good at this.
Thank you for reading and thank you to anyone who does help on this crazier things have happened.
More help than I imagined has been offered we are keeping the thread going because it has turned into an interesting discussion thread but no more help is needed other than just chatting and discussing things.
